Today's MI vs RCB pitch report

"In the first game at this stadium this season, KKR were all out for 116, but that was on pitch number 6. This is pitch number 8. The surface is rock hard. It's got an even coverage of grass but it's a little bit bare. Don't expect a lot of spin on this surface and this should be a high-scoring pitch.” - Natalie Germanos and Simon Katich
